I almost drowned in the sea when I was about 10 and I beg to disagree. My life DID flash past me. Someone saw me and came and rescued me. I also heard someone screaming in the far distance, only to later realise that was me.

Try and imagine what life was like before you were born; is what life will be like after you die...best to just make lemon juice with these lemons whilst we're alive and stop worrying about bronze age fairy tales.

I am not in the conversion business. I know what happened, I was there and you weren't.

I have a friend just like you, Adrian. She is an atheist and makes fun of everyone's belief systems, believing only she is right, not realising that in that very act she is no different than any zealot trying to tell the world only they know the truth.

Me, I understand that a belief system is just that: a belief system. It doesn't matter for what religion it is. I consider atheism just another religion. As such, I respect what people believe no matter how different it is from my own. I don't try and belittle them.

Why is it that every time that people make a comment or statement about religion or faith or God, the atheists feel that it is their duty to belittle the people who differ from them. If you do not understand or do not have the will to explore or to learn, at least respect the views of other people. I really do not understand how people can be so narrow minded to think that they know all and that that only they can be right -everyone else is wrong.

I keep forgetting to keep my views to myself.... I'll try harder!

Maybe all experiences are not the same then.

I would not call atheism a religion, but I also tolerate all other religions, as long they do not try to convert me and are getting too fanatic making other people suffer like suicide bombers etc. The Muslims waking up other people far too early would annoy me a lot, so would church bells, but fortunately I can chose how far away I live from them.
There is also the thing called tradition. I followed the tradition, well my parents made me, but I have no idea why they did that to me (probably tradition too) as the can only be seen at Church at Christmas. I called us the submarine Christians, coming up only once a year...
